Our story

We are a group of language teachers, researchers, teacher trainers and designers from the UK, Italy, Greece and Brazil. We create high-quality teacher training materials and opportunities for language teachers. All of our materials are created together and independently: we receive no external funding and we work in solidarity with teachers. Consequently, we believe professional development for English teachers should be:

Our team
Dr Chiara Bruzzano, Founder and Manager

Chiara is an internationally known researcher and teacher trainer in the field of language learning and education.

After (and while) working as an English teacher in the UK, Spain and Italy, Chiara gained her MA TESOL, Cambridge DELTA 1 and PhD in Language Education at the University of Leeds.

In 2020, Chiara decided to focus her efforts on her colleagues in her home country. She noticed that language teachers in Italian schools were lacking serious opportunities for professional development, so she started LanguagEd.

While working on LanguagEd, Chiara has continued her research: she is currently working for the British Council on her own research project on forced migrants, IELTS and access to university. She is also an English Language lecturer at the University of Milan, a consultant at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and an MA TESOL supervisor at the University of Leeds.

Chiara has published research and spoken at dozens of international conferences on education. She has developed teacher training materials for Oxford University Press Italia, and she is a resident writer for English Teaching Professional. More recently, she has been asked to co-write two upcoming textbooks for Trinity College London.
